Hunting theme fishing spinners

Tis the season!

Just bought some brass - .308, 9MM Ruger, .40 caliber S&W and had to build a few fishing spinners. If I can string it on a wire, it's going to get in the water!


Casings are centered on the wire using beads on other components to add weight and balance.


Here's a few pictures.

Saltwater Jack Crevalle on Skirted Armadillo

Now how's that title conjure up an image, lol.

The spinners I sent to Angola from the Foothills of Colorado to the Kwanza River Delta in Angola, survived their jointed journey through Florida and arrived intact. Tom has them in hand.

It's great timing because his brother is visiting from Europe and they will be fishing for tarpon and other big saltwater species this weekend. I love it when a plan become real!

A friend of Tom's at the Kwanza Lodge took them out for a shakedown cruise yesterday, getting them wet and river tested before the weekend trip.

Here's a picture I received this morning, hopefully more to come!

Gary's Jack Crevalle 

This one was caught by Gary, a guide at the Kwanza Lodge, fishing a 2oz Chartreuse Skirted Double Bite Armadillo.

That's a lot of spinner hanging there in that Jack Crevalle lip!

Even the 3oz versions may not look as substantial in one of their Tarpon (with a capital T)!

Here's the group of Fish Creek Spinners Armadillo's that will get fished.
